Re: (erielack) April calendar photo (2)

Obviously, the scene today is much less than when the shot was taken, with 
the EL track, signal and tower all gone...but interestingly, the 
color-position light signal remains here and within Sterling interlocking. 
The ex-B&O line from Cleveland/Lorain comes into Sterling from the north 
here also, and with a wye track arrangement allowing CL&W trains to go 
either east or west on the main, there are plenty of CPL's protecting track 
in the area.  But like many others on CSX, the CPL's  are slowly being 
replaced...
